    I’ve successfully created a child theme and I’m ready to start making some customizations to the header, but I can’t locate it. I go to wp-content, but there is no longer a header file under there -I swear it was there before I created the child theme.

    Your header should be under /wp-content/themes/YOUR THEME/header.php – that’s where the original file is. If you want to mofify it, you can take it and put it in /wp-content/themes/YOUR THEME-CHILD/header.php

    I’m in the file directory of my cpanel. I go to wp-content, I select the theme Coraline, and there is no header.php file there – just colors, images, inc, languages. Before I created a child theme I think I remember header being listed there, but maybe I’m just confused.

    Coraline theme comes with header.php. You can download the theme again http://wordpress.org/themes/coraline and manually upload the header.php file.
